The Mintest RB 182 in the country...

[imprezaworks]

Wouldn’t say covered but it’s getting get there.

Be the newness wearing off.

 

[cb10]

Inc cb10s lol

When did you own mine? ?

 

[MadUsa1]

I suspect CB10’s may just be the mintest RB in the country when it’s finished!

 

[R29TJR]

@Dr Jekyll is lovely, he doesn't give it/himself enough credit.

@cb10 is also going to be amazing. I think more people will start to do this sort of restoration over the next few years.

Anyway not one to miss an opportunity to be an ASW:

I think mine is classified as fit from far, far from fit!

Mine is getting there but wouldn’t say mint. Still got a few things to do yet, want to enjoy it this summer first but maybe after next winter and got a few more bits I might just might call it mint!!

That's a pretty good contender there right there. There's a bunch that look tidy on the outside but that looks like it's getting to @Phase1sr levels of mint under the surface.

Cheers mate, it's clear that everyone's perception of "mint" is very different.

 

[Mr R.]

If I had a mint car it would definitely blunt the experience

Same. I think I'd actually hate owning a mint car. Probably why I've never bought anything brand new

See now owning a new car wouldn't bother me so much, well I'd at least drive it in the rain.
Of course I'd still worry about where I parked it because of some t**t hitting there door into it etc..

But working on something that you love and go out of your way to make as mint as you possibly can becomes stressful at times.

So when it's finally finished you try your best to look after it, not only the time you've spent but the money you've invested.

It does a bit.

I love your ambition with the scoob but a mix of time, know how etc would drive to simply not liking the car. Well not driving it etc.

Take nothing away from the achievement and what people enjoy doing, hats off.

My ocd level stops with weekly washing, making sure nothing is hanging off and not parking to close to people.

I took it out twice over the weekend, I even parked it on some cut grass.

 

[imprezaworks]

Progress.

[Clio_fool]

Anyway, what's with this mintest RB bolloks? Afraid a LY or BG will turn up and put you all to shame? Bloody racists.

 

[imprezaworks]

Bg, you drunk!

 

[Clio_fool]

Bg, you drunk!

Uh huh. @Gus

 

[Gus]

Haha, blackgold in the sun beats all. For 5 minutes anyway.

Renault really did get the colours right with the 172/182's all of them were really good.

ha - & another one from me....

 

[R-Sport.]

Where are they all now....

 

[R-Sport.]

All great but nothing beats the flamer...

 

[imprezaworks]

Tidy

 

[Supernova]

hy05xgn was my one that i got from steve at r-sport.It had just turned 40k when i sold it jan 2017.Spent a fortune on it and was incredibly clean.
Have driven numerous 182s and that one drove the best when it was n/a and was also completely reliable.Then i made the worst decision of my life and dropped it off at clioturbo and it went downhill from there.

 

[Matt1234]

Yc55rkf is mine now. Which has now just been sold to the apprentice at work.

 

[Jekyll]

The flamer was the one Steve ?

 

[Coops Mk1]

Mine was mint about 10 years ago when @makavelli owned it, does that count ;-)

 

[Coops Mk1]

Still looks great...... In tiny pictures on a phone...

Does this get driven?!
I wouldn't.

 

[Clio_fool]

I wouldn't.

That's the problem with mint cars, driving them ruins them. I was chatting to a guy at a show who had Sierra RS500 that he'd turned into a concourse winner. He said it still cost him hours to prep for every show and he never drove it.

 

[ddouble]

It’s probably the one that Millennium Hereos recently sold for ~8k. It was on circa 13k miles and unmodified. Lovely looking thing.

 

[Deerhound]

Here's mine.Standard apart from KTEC exhaust.
Been a pleasure to own & I think still looking good.
Everything was refurbished a couple of years ago!

 

[Landyman]

Mine is very clean, but the best one l saw when looking was a 22,000 miler at a dealer in London.
But it was too dear for me.

 

[cb10]

I wouldn't.

It will mate yeah that’s what there for. ??
